Trivia

  • The film's title 'Nastik' means atheist in Hindi, which was a bold and unusual theme for a mainstream Bollywood movie at the time.
  • Amitabh Bachchan performed his own stunts for the film's action sequences, including a risky fight on a moving train.
  • The movie was partly shot in the holy city of Haridwar, using real locations like the Har Ki Pauri ghat for authenticity.
  • It was one of the few films where Amitabh Bachchan's character openly rejects religion, contrasting with his many 'angry young man' roles.
  • The soundtrack by R.D. Burman included a hit qawwali, 'Allah Hi Allah Kya Bola', sung by Amitabh Bachchan himself.
  • Director Pramod Chakravorty was known for lavish productions, and this film featured expensive sets recreating temple environments.
  • Despite Amitabh Bachchan's star power, the film had a moderate box office performance compared to his biggest hits of the era.
